Looking into painting my '71 Demon six-pack hood with the Sizzler paint scheme. Question is how??

I've heard the center section is painted and the pin striping is decals, is that correct? What are the measurements to outline this?

Yes you are correct. The center gets painted and the outer lines are pinstriped. The grapic companies sell a kit for doing the job, I believe they even sell a kit to include the center section as a decal. Check around or someone on here may know.

maybe you could have the stripes made of masking, it will be tough to lay them out by hand and be consistant, least amount of trouble will be to use the vinyl instead of paint for the stripes.

I have a six pack hood so I don't know how the template would work. If it lays on the hood to outline then the scoop would get into the way. I need a reverse template I guess...

The originals and the performance car graphics stripe kit comes with just the outside smaller striping and the larger center section is painted. I can go measure my 72 sizzler style hood to see if the graphic striping will work with your scoop?

Thanks for the offer.

I will call Phoenix Graphics tomorrow and talk to them about it. If I can't get the info I need I may call on you.

Its 37 1/2" wide at the back of the hood, and the balackout includes the 2 widest stripes too. I can email you a pic if you'd like as my resizing effort isn't working out.

Any additional help??

I plan on getting the hood stripes on the car tomorrow. Any details on where these belong? Pictures or additional measurement would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
